Vocal Type: contralto
Whistle Register: No
Vocal Range:3 Octaves. Bb2- Bb5 (approx)
Longest Note: 7 seconds - "Maybe"
Vocal Pluses: Dark and heavy voice throughout the low and belted notes. Is capable of lifting the weight and colour of her voice with her middle range which the has an airier quality. Her head voice is nice with a smooth, rich sound that retains a weight to it.
Vocal Negatives: Heavy weight of the voice doesn't allow or suit vocal runs. Belted notes sound less impressive than that of her contemporaries and tends to sound at unease with her voice the higher she sings.
Lots of very good reading here, thank you! I was researching on yahoo when I identified your article, I’m going to add your feed to Google Reader, I look forward to more from you.
ReplyDeleteToni Braxton is concidered a Baritone since her lowest note is B2. But since she is a female, she is considered a Contralto.
ReplyDeleteA gal cant be a baritone no matter how deep she sounds.....plz write on males also plz nd countertenors....
ReplyDeletemost baritones cat get past the fourth octave. she would be more equivalent to a tenor.

Her low notes are heavenly, husky and have a dark quality I absolutely LOVE her!!
ReplyDeleteShe's actually classically trained too--which makes me feel comfortable in saying she's a dramatic contralto.
ReplyDeleteBut ignoring vocal-fach BS, she has a hella sexy voice. All that damn darkness and molasses-thick legato is wonderful.
I love me some Toni Braxton. I like deep singing voice women.
ReplyDeleteToni Braxton profile need a revamp because she is a great singer.
